Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 1384 - 1403: Success

"Hoho..." Jiang Meili struggled to get up, but her throat sounded like it was leaking air, making a strange noise.

"You two dying so swiftly is actually lucky. Wang Yunyun is not so fortunate; she will live, but her existence will be worse than death, a thousand times more painful than what Jiang Zhuanzhuan endured."

"Ugh... Ahhh..." Jiang Meili’s pupils had completely turned blood-red, she struggled to get up but the blood in her neck became more and more abundant, until finally, she died with her eyes wide open.

As for Wang Dalì, he had long since breathed his last.

Feng Sha sheathed his knife, disdainfully pursed his lips, lit a lighter, and without looking back, ignited the quilt and left.

Due to the dry winter air and the use of clay stoves in every rural household, piles of firewood or straw are always nearby. Assisted by the northwestern wind, the house was soon engulfed in flames.

Luckily, Jiang Meili was not well-liked in the village, and no one wanted to be their neighbor, which spared others’ homes from the fire.

The next day, Zhuanzhuan in the detention center received her first visitor.

Leng Tianqi looked around as she was led in, still unable to resist glancing around even as she entered. Although she was used to being taken to police stations when she hung out in Dark Street from a young age, this was her first time at the Imperial City Police Department.

People from Dark Street were terrified just hearing about the Imperial City Police Department—it was their nemesis.

"Stop looking around."

"Yes, yes, I got it, officer," Leng Tianqi said with a smile as she walked in. As soon as she sat down, she saw Zhuanzhuan in handcuffs and immediately said admiringly, "You’re really something. I always knew you were no simple character, but I didn’t expect you to have taken lives, and more than one at that."

The police officer beside them kept glaring at her, silently adding Leng Tianqi to the blacklist as a person of interest for further observation.

Zhuanzhuan hung her head, looking at Leng Tianqi with a cold expression and said nothing.

Feeling a chill from her gaze, Leng Tianqi didn’t waste any more words and quickly stated, "It’s done."

Upon hearing "it’s done," Zhuanzhuan finally showed a smile—a creepy and bone-chilling smile. Scared, Leng Tianqi dared not linger any longer and swiftly got up to leave.

What did her aunt mean by the message she had her bring? What’s done? And didn’t they say her aunt had a falling out with Jiang Zhuanzhuan? Why would she send a message?

It must be that her aunt had agreed to help Jiang Zhuanzhuan with something and succeeded. No matter what it was, Jiang Zhuanzhuan would surely get out. It looked like she needed to be careful from now on.

How could she have been so blind at first to mistake Jiang Zhuanzhuan for a simple, bullyable country bumpkin? This person was a lunatic, and who knew if she held grudges? While collaborating on the surface, could she be plotting her demise behind her back?

Thinking this, Leng Tianqi hurried out as if someone was chasing her, walking even faster.

Today was Wei Qin’s funeral. Nan Fei got up early in the morning, got ready after a simple wash, and put on black clothes to attend the funeral. But as she was about to leave, she stopped.

"What’s wrong?" Fu Xinwu asked in confusion, "Why did you stop?"

"You go! I won’t," said Nan Fei. "Since Wei Qin didn’t want to have a funeral or a memorial service, I won’t disturb him."

"But shouldn’t you represent my uncle there? My uncle was Wei Qin’s best friend."

"No!" Nan Fei shook her head, "No one can represent Bei Jiang, and Wei Qin has already said his goodbyes to Bei Jiang. There’s no need for me to go."
